Day 6: The Cheshire Plain

Sunday should be a day of rest.

So we only cycled 56 miles.

The Cheshire Plain arrived not long after our departure from Hereford's famous Long Mynd, and it made for very comfortable riding.

Our journey today had one of our best averages-well over 10mph, thanks to the good cycling conditions. It wasn't too hot, road surfaces were excellent, and there was plenty of flat - only the wind was against us all the way up to Chester, our overnight stop.

All in all, a really civilised day, in preparation for a big 85 mile day tomorrow - the first of two really big, long days, over eighty miles each.

Till next time
